No, they are for disemboweling the enemy. Of course you couldn't
possible know that.

Well, I opened cans with a bayonet, and neither you nor I disemboweled
anyone with a bayonet. Right or wrong?

I was never in battle, but I was trained by the US Army how to do
it.

Hm, and they told you that bayonets are for "disemboweling"?


It's a quick way to kill someone up close, when yo either have to
keep quiet, or are out of ammo. Shove it in, twist, and jerk it out.
Some of the intestines follow the bayonet as it is pulled out. It's not
as fast as a bullet, but the chances of living aren't much better than
being shot. It's not something for people with a weak stomach to have
to do.


Not that you would understand the difference. Does the term 'Affix
bayonets' mean anything to you?

I have never been taught how to use them, but I was taught how to
affix them. In any case, I am not sure whether disemboweling people
with the bayonet attached to a rifle, is very practicable. Maybe
someone could shed light on that.
